(med) Ibisbill ?

'Jam-dpal gives the orthograph mthing ril, which David Holler (Tibet.birds.com) identifies with the Ibisbill (Ibidorhyncha struthersii). It occurs on the high plateau of Central Asia and the Himalayas, but it's distinctive features are not illustrated in the Eye Ornament. Holler gives sandpipers with the orthograph thing ril, which are closer to the image.
Paljor (2018) identifies mthing ril also with Sandpipers, but slightly confuses english and scientific names : Red Shank is Tringa totanus, wheras the given Tringa ochropus is the Green Sandpiper.
